ODS Unit Initialization
ODS Unit InitializationWhen a seat-back cover, seat-back cushion, and/or ODS unit is replaced, initialize the ODS by doing the procedure.
NOTE: A new (uninitialized) ODS unit installed with a faulty ODS sensor can cause DTC 85-71 and 85-78.
1. Clear the DTC memory.
2. Make sure the front passenger's seat is dry. Set the seat-back in a normal position, and make sure there is nothing on the seat.
3. Make sure the ignition switch is OFF and the MES connector is not shorted.
4. Connect the HDS to the data link connector (DLC)
5. Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
6. Make sure the HDS communicates with the vehicle and the SRS unit. If it does not communicate, troubleshoot the DLC circuit.
7. From the HDS Main Menu, select SRS, then SRS then Calibration. In the Calibration Menu, select ODS INITIALIZATION. Follow the screen prompts to initialize the ODS unit.
8. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
9. Disconnect the HDS from the DLC.
NOTE: If the ODS fails to initialize after several attempts, replace the OPDS sensor/seat-back (foam pad) and retry. If the ODS continues to fail to initialize, replace the ODS unit.
